The government has for years been accused of unbridled largesse and wastefulness - the fuel guzzlers, office flowers, red carpets and duplication of roles. It was, therefore, welcome news last week when a dispatch from the Cabinet announced plans to dissolve, merge or defund State corporations that were either inefficient, redundant or whose roles were outdated. The reforms were necessitated by increasing fiscal pressures arising from constrained government resources, the demand for high quality public services, and the growing public debt burden.
If implemented, this is expected to save the government billions of shillings which can then be put in development projects and service delivery.
